International Anthem steps into a new chapter with megiapa, the Ohio‑born, Chicago‑shaped, now Los Angeles‑based linguist, producer, visual artist and vocalist whose multidisciplinary instincts feel right at home for the label’s boundary‑pushing spirit.

Her new project, Intentions, is a full‑circle creation: composed, written and produced by megiapa, wrapped in album art she designed herself, and led by the striking single ‘Open Your Eyes’, whose video she also directed, shot and edited.

But she’s not alone in the room. The supporting cast is a list of forward‑thinking collaborators: The Growth Eternal, Ahmad Muhammad aka Kafari, Mekala Session, Telemakus, Will Miller (Resavoir), Allakoi “Mic Holden” Peete, Aankha Neal, Blvck Spvde, 10.4 ROG, and more.

Speaking about the album, megiapa explains:

“Fear is a hindrance to our dreams and our goals and the beauty of life. Please dream with me. Please take a moment to reflect. And please be okay with things being uncertain.”

Press play and step into something worth your full attention.
